During Current Events, Councilman Stephen Hatcher reported that 5 or 6 weeks ago, after speaking with Cave Creek Unified School District's (CCUSD) Coach Dixon and Superintendent Dr. Monroe, he put together a project for the Cactus Shadows football team. Mr. Hatcher initiated a Go Fund Me page to provide new and safer football helmets for the team. The goal was to raise $15,000. Many people in town donated and they raised $10,000.
Dr. Monroe said they needed to get that order in promptly in order to have the helmets in time, and he offered to provide the other $5,000 so they would have full funding for all the helmets. At that point, Mr. Hatcher closed the Go Fund Me page.
Mr. Hatcher gave a special thanks to everyone who contributed, with a special thanks to Mary Peterson, who sent out many emails and made many phone calls to her friends who supported this effort. It was also put out in Carefree Truth.
Vice Mayor Crane suggested presenting the check to Dr. Monroe, who would be in attendance at the September Council meeting. Councilwoman Cheryl Kroyer commended the enthusiasm of Coach Dixon as well.
Vice Mayor Crane announced that there would be a Special Council meeting on August 22nd at 3 PM to canvass the vote, making it official.
